      <p><![CDATA[The fonds documents the history of archiving in the government circuit Opava in the context of the Sudetenland Reichsgau (region) in the period 1938–1945. The fonds contains all the fundamental paperwork relating to the establishment and activities of the institution up until the end of Reich state administration in April 1945. The fonds contains several individual sources of value for the study of Jewish history. Primarily these are the results of research conducted by the archive in administrative institutions and parishes in the circuit of the Government President in Opava concerning the incidence of Jewish registers and records about Jewish inhabitants in Catholic registers from the years 1940–1945 (box 19, inv. № 83, call number Pr 18 (A 18)). Lists of registers according to the individual Jewish religious communities drawn up in the course of the years 1939–1945 (box 17, inv. № 63, call number Pr 15/1 (A15)) also concern the Jewish registers which the then regime took a great interest in. In the fonds 4 card indexes have survived holding details of persons of the Jewish faith with genealogical data or with references to court files which were acquired from the archival records taken over by the Reich archive (inv. № 152).]]></p>

      <p><![CDATA[After the Second World War the registry of the archive, which had been evacuated from Opava before the front, was taken back to the renewed Provincial Archives in Opava, where it was incorporated as part of the registry. Its first approximate arrangement occurred in 1956. The complex arrangement of the older parts of the archive registry occurred from the 1990s, and they were completed with the compilation of an inventory in 2012, which is available on http://www.archives.cz/zao/digitalni_archiv. During the most recent inventory, copies concerning the activity of the Reichsarchiv Troppau (Reichs Archives of Opava) gained from the Federal Archives in Berlin and the Regional State Archives in Litoměřice were included in the fonds.]]></p>
